Cold Priest VS Ancient Ferocious Beast

After the two little Os started school, Su Qingchen and Mo Zhu's lives seemed to be back on track.

Although their mission has not yet come to fruition, it is not a good idea to sit at home every day. Su Qingchen has started planning to open a coffee shop. In this way, the training class is worth the money.

"I'll go with you." On the one hand, Mo Zhu was worried, and on the other hand, he had no direction at the moment.

"If Little O is destined to do something big, a coffee shop won't be enough for him. You just wait and see if you can find something that can help their career. And I have this, don't worry." Su Qingchen showed off the ring on his ring finger.

"Not all Alphas agree with this."

"That's not to say all Alphas are psychotic. Besides, I'm not just an Omega."

"You're only 1.72 meters tall."

Hearing Mo Zhu's words, Su Qingchen calmed down, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, telling himself not to be angry. After going through the whole process, he was still very angry, and then looked at Mo Zhu coldly.

"..." Mo Zhu looked at Su Qingchen. He didn't understand his emotions at the moment, but he felt that Su Qingchen seemed angry. "I'm sorry?" Mo Zhu apologized with a question.

Su Qingchen smiled speechlessly.

"Forget it." Su Qingchen shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Mo Zhu walked to Su Qingchen and asked.

Looking at Mo Zhu's worried expression, Su Qingchen lost his temper.

"Don't mention my height here anymore, understand?" Su Qingchen said.

Mo Zhu chuckled and said, "I'm sorry."

"Yes, I accept."

Su Qingchen buried his head and began to look at his own information again.

Doorbell rang.

"I'll go." Mo Zhu got up and opened the door.

"Hello, is this the home of Master Su and Xiao Chenchen?" It was an Omega who looked a little older.

Mo Zhu reacted for a moment and replied, "Yes."

"I'm a neighbor who lives in Area C. Luckily I wasn't mistaken. I've seen them return to this house before, otherwise it would be hard to find them."

"Is there a problem?"

"Well, I'm afraid the kids will make a wasted trip, so I came to tell you that you don't have to come to my house to work for the next few days. We have something urgent to do and need to be away for a few days, about six days."

"Work?" Mo Zhu asked.

"You... don't know?" The Omega was also a little confused. "Is it the home of those two orange-flavored little Os?"

"Yes." Although the name was wrong, Mo Zhu was sure that the Omega was looking for the two in his family.

"A few days ago, my dad was building a flower wall in the yard. Two little Os passed by and asked my dad if they could work there. They said their parents asked them to work part-time to earn money for their studies in the community. My dad thought that they were neighbors and the two little Os were very cute and capable, so he agreed. Don't you know?" Omega was a little embarrassed.

"They may have their own little secrets, but I will pass them on."

"Well, I'm sorry. I should have asked the parents first and asked them to build the wall for several days..."

"It doesn't matter. They are grown-up kids now. It's not a bad idea to work and study."

Seeing that Mo Zhu wasn't angry, Omega breathed a sigh of relief, then made amends: "Both children are very sensible and serious about their work. They might want to use their pocket money to prepare a surprise for you. It might sound like a spoiler for me to tell you this, but I'm mainly worried that if they go and we're not home, they won't know what's going on."

"Thank you. I will tell them that the child is disturbing you."

"No, no, we all like them very much. I'll go back first."

"Walk slowly."

Back in the house, Su Qingchen asked, "What's the matter?"

"Compared to the children, we are indeed very lazy. They have already found classes for themselves."

"what?"

"They were working at a neighbor's house, and the neighbor said he had to leave for a few days for something and asked them not to go there in vain."

"...We seem to have not yet discussed the issue of pocket money with our children. Mainly because they are at school during the day and at home after school, and we haven't thought about where they will need to spend money." Su Qingchen began to reflect.

"Let's talk to them when they come back."

"Well, how much do you think is appropriate?"

"Priest, I've never received pocket money before, so I don't know how much is appropriate."

"So, I'm the only one who's stingy?" Su Qingchen said with a smile.

"Let the children talk when they come back."

"You have to have an idea of ​​how much you should give. What if you give them too much and they get cheated?"

"It's good enough that they don't cheat others. They even have the nerve to come up with a stage name when they go to work."

"stage name?"

"Hero Su, Xiao Chenchen...if I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have said it wasn't from our family."

Su Qingchen refreshed his understanding of the two little Os.

"We were quite clever. We told others that we were parents, but we didn't tell anyone about the adoption."

Su Qingchen felt a little embarrassed when he heard the words "Dad and Mom".

"I go to their room every night, but I don't see them buying anything..." Su Qingchen was a little puzzled, "Could it be that they see that we do nothing every day and want to make money for our retirement? I have to open a coffee shop as soon as possible." Su Qingchen joked.

"Just watch for a while and go pick them up from school. I'm going to make dinner."

"Row."

After picking up the two Little Os after school, Su Qingchen first asked them about the daily life of the school. Everything went smoothly, and then he started talking about the employment issues of the two Little Os.

"Some neighbors from District C came to our house today." As soon as Su Qingchen said this, the lively atmosphere in the car suddenly cooled down.

Hero Xiao looked ahead as if he didn't care, and little Momo remained silent.

"The neighbor said they're going to be away for a few days, so you don't have to go work there for now."

"Oh..." Hero Xiao felt guilty as if he had caused some big trouble.

"First of all, working and studying is a good thing. If you tell me and Brother Mo Zhu first, we will support you. Then, although your identities haven't been registered yet, we are already a family. If you two kids want to do something, tell us. We will feel more at ease, right? What if the family you're working for is not good?"

"Yeah." Hero Xiao responded in a low voice.

"Finally, if you want to buy something, you can tell me and Brother Mo Zhu. But you are already big kids. Hero Xiao will be an adult in four years. I think you can manage your pocket money by yourself. How much pocket money do you think is appropriate for a day or a week? Brother Mo Zhu and I will give it to you. Although being able to support yourself is great, you must know that when you grow up, you will have a lifetime to work. There is no need to rush now." Su Qingchen said with a smile.

Neither Xiao Daxia nor Xiao Momo replied.

"Or, have you earned enough from working these days to buy things? If not, I'll make up for it. After all, that neighbor is going to be gone for a week."

"That's enough." Xiao Daxia rummaged through his schoolbag and took out 110 yuan. "These are the remaining ones. You and Brother Mo Zhu can spend them."

"...Kids! Brother Mo Zhu and I adopted you, why does it act like you adopted us? Just spend the money yourself..." Su Qingchen felt more and more that he had to find a job quickly.

"We've already bought everything we wanted to buy, and there's nothing left to spend money on."

"So how much did you spend on shopping?"

"8 yuan."

"...What kind of financial genius are you? How can you make so much money by buying something worth 8 yuan?" Thinking of his previous money-losing business of charging 100 yuan and getting 1,000 yuan free, Su Qingchen felt a little ashamed.

"That's because the boss... oh, that grandpa. He's a very nice guy. He can actually build the wall himself, but he just wants us to make some money. We work for an hour every day, and each person gets 20 yuan, which is a very high wage. The wages outside aren't that high. Grandpa also gives us drinks. If we worked all day, it wouldn't take that long to build the wall. Grandpa deliberately left the work for us."

"So every day when you say you're going out to play for a while, you're actually going to work?"

"Yeah." Little Momo nodded.

“Why do you build walls?”

"I learned it when I was working illegally in a factory," said Xiao Daxia.

Having said that, Su Qingchen didn't want to pursue the matter any further, although he hadn't thought about it in the first place.

"Well, if you don't need this money now, just keep it at home. Find a place for it on your bedside table or in your closet. Just don't forget it. Be careful not to lose it if you carry it in your bag. Once your identities are registered, I'll open a bank account for you so you can save."

"We don't have anything to spend..." said Xiao Daxia.

"You'll need to spend it later, so save it now. In our family, we don't allow adults to spend children's money."

"Yeah." Little Momo nodded again.

Hero Xiao put the money back into his bag.

"If we insist on giving pocket money, how much is appropriate?" Su Qingchen asked directly without beating around the bush.

"No need." Little Momo shook his head.

Su Qingchen saw little Momo shaking his head in the rearview mirror and thought it was very cute. "I know you don't need it. I mean, if I insist on giving it to you, how much will you give?"

"One yuan." said little Momo.

This seemed to be the first time that Little Momo expressed an opinion other than yes or no to Su Qingchen. Su Qingchen was so happy, "One dollar? Then what are you buying?"

"Savings." Little Momo said very clearly.

"Hahahaha, okay, what about Hero Xiao?"

"Then I'm like little Momo."

"Then we have a deal. I'll give you one dollar each per day, and you keep it yourselves. But if you need more money but would rather work and study, you must let us know. You are now under someone's care."

"I understand." said Hero Xiao.

"good."

After returning home, Su Qingchen told Mo Zhu about this matter.

"One dollar a day? Wouldn't it be easier to give it all at once for a year?"

"If you put it that way, it seems so. But if we give it to him every day, it will add a sense of ritual..."

"Okay. So what did they buy?"

"I didn't ask. They're grown-up kids now, so I don't need to worry about them. I believe they won't buy anything bad. They only spent 8 yuan after earning over 100 yuan, and they wanted to use the rest to honor us. I feel ashamed."

The two little ones had no work to do today, so they didn’t go out after dinner. I don’t know what they were doing hiding in the room and they haven’t shown up.

When it was time to go to bed, Su Qingchen went to say good night to them. He knocked on the door several times but no one answered him.

He gently pushed the door open and went in. The lights were not turned off, but the two little ones seemed to have fallen asleep. Although this was not consistent with their daily routine, Su Qingchen did not think much about it.

He walked over to look at little Momo first. Before he sat down next to little Momo, he saw a puddle of water on the floor.

Before seeing the puddle of water, Su Qingchen didn't think anything of it, but the moment he saw it, he realized it was wine. He actually smelled a little bit of it when he opened the door, but he didn't think much about it.

"Hero Xiao!" Su Qingchen called softly but sternly, while starting to clean the floor with tissue paper.

Hero Xiao slowly sat up, looking as if he hated himself for being so stupid.

Su Qingchen cleaned the floor and threw away all the papers stained with wine.

"What's wrong?" Mo Zhu asked, looking at Su Qingchen's angry look.

"I don't know yet. I'll go and interrogate."

"Don't... don't be too angry." Mo Zhu was not in a position to go in, so he could only wait at the door.

"Speak." Su Qingchen sat opposite Hero Xiao and looked at him seriously.

"Uh..." Hero Xiao didn't know where to start.

"Where does the wine come from?"

Hero Xiao took out a small bottle of brandy from the bedside table. The small bottle of wine was almost spilled.

"Where did this come from?"

“I bought it…”

"You bought this for 8 dollars?"

"Ah."

"Which store sells alcohol to children?" Su Qingchen was very angry. He was angry that the two little Os actually bought alcohol secretly, and he was also angry that there was such an unscrupulous merchant selling alcohol to children.

"We gave Big Omega two dollars as a commission and asked him to buy it..."

"..." Su Qingchen silently lamented how the two children had so many ideas, and told himself to criticize them harshly.

"Then you all know what little Momo feels like, right?" At this time, little Momo was still unconscious on the bed.

"Um……"

"So, why?"

"One of our classmates said that in a situation like Momo's, the quickest solution is to fight fire with fire."

"what?"

"One of our classmates was once taken to a child labor camp. He said the guards' pheromones smelled like tobacco, and he would faint when he smelled them. But because there were so many child laborers, no one cared about him. He eventually got better after a while, and he said the more he felt faint, the more he smelled them, and he became immune to it."

Su Qingchen felt much softer in his heart and didn't say anything. He even felt that he was useless as an adult.

"Little Momo and I just wanted to buy a small wine bottle and try it out. If it works, Brother Mozhu won't have to stay alone all the time."

"So... will it work?"

"Hmm!" Speaking of this, Hero Xiao became excited.

"At first, little Momo fainted immediately, but he was able to hold out longer and longer every day. Today, we came up right after dinner, and he fainted just before you knocked on the door. He lasted three hours today. You knocked on the door before I could even put the cap on the bottle, and my hand shook, and the wine spilled."

"It's so dangerous for you guys..." Su Qingchen blamed with heartache.

"No, as soon as little Momo faints I'll put the cap back on the bottle, and only after he wakes up will we...only then...say goodnight to you and go back to sleep...and he keeps waking up faster and faster."

As soon as Hero Xiao finished speaking, little Momo blinked his eyes.

"He's awake." Hero Xiao said to Su Qingchen.

"Little Momo." Su Qingchen turned around and touched Little Momo's face, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Little Momo shook his head and looked at Hero Xiao.

"We've been discovered..." said Hero Xiao.

Little Momo looked at Su Qingchen again.

"Thank you for your hard work..." Looking at little Momo's innocent face, Su Qingchen choked up a little.
